Our blood has stained the soil of many nations, the waters of many oceans.
Some have loved us, others reviled us, none can deny us…… our tears flow freely
for our fallen comrades, our rage soars against those who defile them. We
stand ever vigilant against those who would harm our nation, we are of all
colors, of all faiths, of all backgrounds, we are rich and poor, we are humble,
we are proud. We are of the elite, we are of the land, we deny your pity,
we shed your indifference, we accept your gratitude, and we command your
respect, on this day, our day, we demand you set aside your pettiness and
celebrate what we are, above all things…..soldiers, sailors, airmen, and
marines…..by God we are The Armed Forces of The United States of America…..To
all my Brothers and Sisters-in-arms I salute you.
